Christopher Breen joins us to talk about a wide variety of topics, starting with some changes he is making to his social media presences. Chris explains why snark will be out on Twitter, why he is making the change, and how his online personas differ on Twitter and App.net. Then, Chris discusses the challenges, rewards and motivations behind his latest writing experiment, the Mac 101 column (not to be confused with his Mac 911 column) at Macworld. Finally, Chris and Chuck discuss the negative aspects of Apple fanboyism that have been on display recently in relation to Andy Ihnatko’s move away from the iPhone.
This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of the brand new PDFpen 6 and PDFpenPro 6, as PDFpen for iPad and PDFpen for iPhone.
